A bit worrying 😕 VO name comes up in multiple transfer talks with top premiership clubs.

However, it's just talk for now , nonetheless, there is a lot of speculation about over inflated wage demands of £400k a week. If that's true he may find himself remaining in the retirement Turkish league or in the money 🤑 bags 💰 Saudi league.

Are those wage demands justified if actually true in my opinion NO.

I doubt if he requested for that. Mikel once debunked the figure you quoted. According to news, he wants the same amount Napoli is paying him, around €12M which I believe he's worth, even Nkunku is earning close to that

The Arabs offered a salary of 30 million last year.
My biggest fear is that no one from Europe will give 75 million and a net salary of 15 million due to the African bias., Kai Havertz, Gabriel Jesus etc. earn this money, but Arsenal goes to the CL semi-finals without a center forward

. What kind of arrogance is this, what else should the guy do to prove himself?

Chelsea had the capacity to even triple that amount and sign him
I don't understand what is wrong with that business man named Toddy, very anyhow Man

If it's baba Olowo we won't be hearing these, nor asking if

He never requested for €400k a week, he just asked for them to pay the same amount he earns at Napoli which is €250k/week - €12m/year...

Make those Premier League clubs rest if them no wan pay. I'll-be
-right-back Reece James is even earning more than that, Jack Grealish and some underperforming players are earning more than that.

People dey talk about these Premier League clubs like say no be clubs wey Osimhen dey change am for upandan... Osimhen has played against 4 Premier League clubs in his career and scored against all except Liverpool.

Tottenham - 2 goals, 1 game
Leicester - 2 goals, 1 game
Chelsea - 1 goal, 1 game
Liverpool - 0 goal(s), 2 games

He has 5 goals in 5 matches against these PL teams. If as bad as we think Jackson is, he can hit double figures in back-to-back PL seasons... Osimhen go wrap that league like suya if he gets the right club 😂

If them no go pay am €250k or above, make them gettat!

Wait, no Nigerian SE players has reached this 300 milestone?

Osimhen on 36 now

I honestly think Chelsea is unseriouse
How can you be pricing Osimhen?
Highest scoring African in the world

Anyway Osimhen should just snob them
Cos thier body language doesn't seem to be like an ambitious team

Thier policy even says get players
Imagine Osimhen red hot and willing to come over you are saying you are ok will Nicolas Jackson

If they can pay move where you are valued. And wanted

By the way I don't even see any ambitious EPL team apart from Liverpool and. Arsenal

Man City is a no no
Man United are on life
Chelsea died with Abrahamovich
Tottenham are every year final year student

There's a new project at Juventus
Osimhen go there

TheSuperNerd:
Osimhen on 36 now

Yes thanks

If Mo Salah is mentioned for Ballondor
Omo Osimhen should also be in the mix


But he must come to the spot light

Arsenal and ambitious in the same sentence? 🙄

At least even if them no dey graduate
Every year them dey final year
One dey convocation fit mistakenly reach them


But imàgine Chelsea

shortlist of players they are looking at consists of Liam Delap, Jonathan David, Hugo Ekitike and Benjamin Sesko. Rockies.., without class

When Osimhen is almost offering himself to them free and the coach is even saying I have a number 9 Jackson?


Kai
Osimhen should go to who wants and value him not just want he loves

Deres a wage structure Dey don’t want to exceed

On this season's performance alone, Ballon Dor mention is a stretch for Osim. Unfortunately, the Turkish league can't be compared to the EPL where Salah has excelled this season. Hopefully if he can head back to Italy or the EPL and he has another bumper harvest of goals, then ballon d'or could be in sight.

daveP:

Iwobi will certainly break this record. He has 290 EPL appearances as at today.

Certainly g Victor will not exceed it, and they can even find a way around it too

First of all I'm almost certain that Arsenal are regretting over paying for these two players ,they haven't lived up to expectations.

Once bitten twice shy.

I don't think there is anything like African bias consistent continued top level performance gets you highest pay.

M. Salah is on £400k plus a week ,he has for 8 season been a top scorer for Liverpool and in the premier league. He is African in case you forgot.

By comparison you cannot compare Salah to VO player who has won golden boot three times in the Premier league and has always been a top goal 🥅 scorer in the premier league.

VO has only scored above twenty goals in a top league once in his entire career prior to that he has never scored more than 15 league goals in a season.

VO is proven but has not hit the numbers that established world class striker's have hit consistently like Mbappe, Haaland. I think 🤔 he needs to leave retirement league and start playing in a far better league to create that world class consistency.

Just like salah who never scored 20 goals at Osimhen's age and before he ed Liverpool...
Even the highly hyped Rashford has never scored 20 league goals a season..

Kai
Osimhen should go to who wants and value him not just want he loves

"Herein lies the problem"

The vast majority of you here think he is the best striker in the world or close to it.

However, you have a duplicity of top European clubs who have essentially, "Put your money where your mouth is" and don't agree.

Because none of these top clubs are offering him what he wants or killing themselves to get him. That in itself says something about how they presumably see him and or rate him. This view is held by the majority of top clubs apart from us here, the fans .

A number of you may wish to call me biased and filled with hate , because I don't you in this sentiment based favouritism for VO. I'm saying things as they are no sentiment or preference.

opes:


Just like salah who never scored 20 goals at Osimhen's age and before he ed Liverpool..

The situation with Salah is different and you are misinforming us here.

First of Salah moved from a position as a traditional winger to the more modern inverted forward player. In Roma playing as a traditional winger he scored 14 goals first season and 15 goals second season he was 22. He was actually doing better than VO.

In 2017/18 Salah was 24 when he scored 32 Goals in the EPL and got the golden boot, FACT .

In 2022/23 VO scored 27 goals in Seria A , prior to that time he had never scored more than 14 league goals in his career. He had never been a top goal scorer at this stage and he was 24.

The other issue is Salah is more technically astute and adaptable in that he can play multiple positions across the front three.

VO is a quintessential number 9 and that's it , he is not adaptable to play as a winger inverted or otherwise in my opinion.

If players like Mbappe, Haaland, Yamal and Vinicius were to be offered to Chelsea, do u think they will mind exceeding any wage structure?

I edited the post you quoted and included Rashford, who is a top earner at Man U despite never having scored 20 goals in a season. Just trying to my argument that Osimhen is worth what he is demanding

You’re mistaking Net from Gross. Net is after all the deductions and taxes while gross is prior to deductions. Anyway, a player like osimhen based on his antecedents deserves to earn similar to what Haaland is earning. But, if a particular club isn’t trying to break their wage structure for any single player, that rule should apply towards everyone at that club

Napoleon55:

I don’t think they rate osimhen as highly as Nigerians Rate him. Obviously, they believe that he is a Good striker but they don’t rate him as highly as mbappe or Haaland because if haaland was presently available, Chelsea will break that wage structure for haaland. Osimhen just needs to sign for a bigger club, excel and subsequently he would be offered a much better contract.

Its two months now. Is FIFA still going to remove points from SA?

Was any official statement made at all? Or have we moved on?

Hopefully in June …a statement will be released about it ….so I heard

Happy for him. What a legacy. I hope he caps it off with a trophy just like Eze. But it's worrisome that we no dey see SE players reach such heights again. Especially with one club.

Bitterleaf, welcome back

Wait ooo pls had the Turkiya league closed yet, I think it remains one match
